Correlation of skin moisture and serum urea level with dermatology life quality index in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis: A cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern, with a 10% global prevalence. Its prevalence may further increase in the coming decades, thereby increasing the risk of uremic xerosis. Approximately 50-90% of patients with CKD have xerosis, leading to pruritus that affects their quality of life due to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression. However, the exact mechanisms underlying xerosis in CKD remain unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of serum urea levels and skin moisture with quality of life in patients with CKD. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital from March to December 2023. Patients with CKD aged ≥18 years who were undergoing hemodialysis for at least 3 months were included in this study. A translated Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire was employed to assess the patient's quality of life. Serum urea levels and skin moisture were determined using venous blood and the Skin Moisture Checker MY-808S tool, respectively. In total, 67 patients with CKD, including 61.2% males and 32.8% individuals aged >60 years, were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 52.73±13.08 years. The mean serum urea levels, skin moisture, and DLQI scores were 154.08±49.10 mg/dL, 36.22±2.34%, and 4.67±3.98, respectively. No difference in DLQI scores was observed between normal and high serum urea levels or between dry and normal skin moisture levels (
